greatinspector | Case File 4 [Voice/Action] Pops is up to something....

[Inspector Zenigata hates Mondays. He hates Mondays after a weekend he can't freakin' remember even more. After all this time here, though, he's learned to just accept that something weird probably happened to him last weekend. It's a pretty crappy thing to accept, sure, but what choice does he have since those Malnosso punks won't show up and let him arrest them. Add to that the weirdness of that Were-Yeti incident...and you've got a cop who REALLY needs a distraction.

Regardless of the funkiness of the last few weeks, he wakes up and gets a move on. The man's got plans for today. Starting with a trip down to the shops, where he's picking up nails and a hammer, as well as various lengths of wood gathered from around town. He's got a project in mind, for the benefit of his sanity and the residents of Community House 5. The pickup process takes a few hours, so feel free to stop him or give him funny looks as he wanders between Community House 5 and the shops, whistling while he works.

After gathering supplies, the sounds of sawing, hammering, and generalized construction can be heard in the woods behind Community House #5. Zenigata is making quite a racket. After a while, he appears via the journal, saluting like any civic minded individual doing the community a service.]

Hey, anyone out there like to give me a hand? I'm tryin' to put together a little work-shack out back. Figured it would be a good way to keep a certain someone from blowing up apartments again. If you don't wanna help, thats fine. Just figured I'd give everyone some warning. Also...if there's anyone around who'd be willing to bring me some extra nails and maybe some water, that'd be great. Rather not stop workin' once I get started...

Nope, it was definitely those guys. Those Malnosso characters. Suspicious and shady characters if I ever saw.

Why make us forget three days? What was done that must remain secret? It...it makes no sense.

Exactly. Suspicious people commit suspicious behavior. If only those assholes would show their face, I'd arrest them in a second!

By what authority? There is no way to try them, no way to jail them. I admire your dedication, Inspector, but...

[Zenigata shrugs]

The ICPO does afford jurisdiction for the arrest on the charge of crimes against humanity. Human experimentation? Thats pretty bad.

As far as jailing them, we can make a jail, and trying them? Well, I'm a bit old fashioned, should just let em rot in the cell they made.

As far as I am aware, the ICPO doesn't have authority here. I would be far more comfortable if they did, but, sadly, they do not. Even if they have one of their investigators on hand. I am not questioning what it was you would do were we in your home world, but what can be done here.

I think this place is as much their prison as it is ours, yes? At least from what I have come to understand.

[Again, Zenigata shrugs]

I dunno about that. I've been around a while, and I'd like to think that I've learned a thing or two about Malnosso bullshit. They bring us here, they send us home, and they use us to fight their wars, raise their crops, and as guinea pigs in their experiments. Its just how they do things.

I defer to your knowledge and experience on the matter, then. All I have is what I have heard or read, and that does not come close to first hand experience.

...

What do you know of the Third Party?

Very little, honestly. I've not been out on any missions yet, and I've avoided being drafted since I got here. Mostly just rumors and bogeyman stories though.

Of which there are plenty, and most are not horribly informative. [She frowns.] Do you know who it is I should go to for more information on them?

Not really. Just talkin' to people who've seen them firsthand is about the best you're gonna get.

Such is the way of things. [Adele shrugs and finishes marking off one board, setting it aside to begin on the next.] How long is it that you've been here, if I may ask?

[Zenigata shrugs]

Gettin' on 9 months now.

...how is it that you have learned to cope? What is it you do to keep sane in the midst of all of this?

[Zenigata gestures around to his current project and laughs]

I do this, ma'am. Projects.

[That pulls a soft chuckle from Adele, and she looks up at him with a smile.] What better way than to be productive, yes? I am not one to build, but I am glad to offer what assistance I can.

Exactly. Gotta do something to make this cage even more gilded, yea? You're a doctor, right? So you help folks?

A surgeon, yes. I have a late afternoon to early evening shift at the Battledome clinic unless they need me at the village clinic. It is nice to not worry about treating gunshot wounds every day, that much is pleasant about this place.

I bet that is nice. You...from a rough neighborhood?

Half my time was spent treating criminals, Inspector. Most often they'd been shot.

Oh. Well...I'm sorry. For both having to deal with gunshot wounds, and criminals.

I was a trauma surgeon, it could not be avoided. And despite their crimes and reputations most of the men were quite gracious and polite. I think it was because I was keeping them alive. [She chuckles and starts marking off the next board.]

But I do appreciate it Inspector.

Everybody appreciates doctors. If you're good, you're good. I'm guessin' you were.

Never lost a patient. [A half smile, a familiar boast. She sits back on her heels and moves the next board aside.] I find that most do not appreciate Inspectors as much as they should. Allow me to thank you for their work on their behalf.

Well...thanks. You're right though, cops get a bad reputation. Not all of us eat donuts and are fat and useless.
